Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

by Rebecca August 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Serves 8-10 | Prep: 24 hours 30 min.| Cook: 1 hour

This gorgeous brunch or breakfast casserole is a classic! A super easy to make and a heavenly dessert-like dish that you cannot be able to resist. It’s mouth-watering and is loaded with fresh blueberries.

Ingredients

FOR THE FRENCH TOAST:

12 slice bread, any kind or loaf of French bread

2 pkg cream cheese, room temperature, 8 oz each

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

12 large eggs

1 cup milk, add a little at a time until milk is absorbed by the bread

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

FOR THE BLUEBERRY SAUCE:

1 cup of sugar

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 cup of water

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

1 tablespoon butter

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

Step 1: Use spam to spray a 9 x 13-inch dish. Then, slice or tear the bread into cubes before arranging them in the bottom of the prepared dish.

Step 2: Slice the cream cheese into inch cubes and place them on the top of the bread. Then, sprinkle a cup of blueberries on top.

Step 3: Combine 12 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1/3 cup maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Once mixed, gradually pour the mixture over the bread making sure that the bread soaks up the milk. We don’t want the bread to be soggy before baking because it’ll still be soggy even after you bake it. Then, cover the bread mixture with foil and chill overnight.

Step 4: To make the Blueberry Sauce, combine 1 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of corn starch in a medium saucepan. Then, add in a cup of water and mix until smooth and not clumpy. Heat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.

Step 5: Add in a cup of blueberries and continue to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes while occasionally string until the blueberries start to burst. But don’t let all the blueberries burst. We want those whole blueberries for texture.

Step 6: Remove the pan from the heat before stirring in a tablespoon of butter. This blueberry sauce can be stored in a plastic or glass container until ready to use.

Step 7: On the next day, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then, take the casserole out of the fridge and place inside the preheated oven to bake for 30 minutes.

Step 8: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes more or until the top of the casserole is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9: Meanwhile, heat the blueberry sauce in the microwave or on top of the oven until warm. When warm and the casserole is set, pour the sauce over the casserole.

NOTE: In 30 minutes, you can put everything together. You need to wait though for at least 8 hours or preferably 24 hours for everything to set in. So refrigerate the casserole and cook for an hour the next day.

This what I call the lazy sauce, you can use jam or preserves or whatever fruit-flavored jam you’d prefer. Warm the preserves in a small saucepan and add in a tablespoon of corn starch and mix until smooth. You can stir in additional fruit if desired. Serve this over french toast, ice cream, or anything! Enjoy!

BACON CHEESE BISCUITS

by Rebecca August 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Cooking Time: 20 | Makes: 6

These biscuits are the perfect side of any meal! They are savory, buttery, and cheesy. It’s going to be hard to resist these flaky freakylicious bacon cheese biscuits! Transform your traditional biscuits into savory, cheesy individual-sized bread by adding in bacon, cheese, and some green onions. This can be a perfect breakfast or brunch, too. Just add scrambled eggs on the bottom then the layer of bacon and cheese.

In my house, bacon and cheese is a must. So this recipe has been my go-to and it is super easy and quick to make which is a plus point for a busy bee like me.

INGREDIENTS

2 cans of crescent rolls (you can use biscuits too)

Cheese (Whatever type you like)

12oz or 16oz package of bacon, cooked

flour for dusting (optional)

HOW TO MAKE BACON CHEESE BISCUITS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees.

Step 2: Use a non-stick cooking spray to grease your baking sheet and set aside.

Step 3: And flour your work surface a little.

Step 4: On your work surface, unroll one can of crescent roll or half can of biscuits. Press the seams together with your hands or rolling pin. Then, lightly press and stretch the roll a little to form a rectangle.

Step 5: For the first layer, sprinkle the cheese and top with bacon.

Step 6: Then, unroll the other can of the crescent roll and place it on top of the cheese and bacon layer. Press the seams to close.

Step 7: Slice the biscuit into squares with either a pizza cutter or a knife.

Step 8: Transfer the squares on the prepared baking sheet making sure that the slices are touching each other.

Step 9: Place the baking sheet inside the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the top of the crescent rolls are mildly browned.

Step 10: Once done, remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for at least 3 to 5 minutes on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Mama Seward’s Strawberry Cake Recipe

by Rebecca August 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 10 Min | Cook: 40 Min

This cake is super moist and heavenly delicious! Whenever I make this my kitchen smells like a strawberry field! Such a pretty cake that you can make in a breeze. If you are a fan of strawberries, you’ll surely love this cake. The frosting tastes like strawberry ice cream! Yum! Try closing your eyes when you eat this cake and it’ll feel like you are eating fresh strawberries.

I am obsessed with this delightful cake. I made it on my daughter’s birthday, brought it many times on potluck, and events. This Strawberry Cake never fails to please the crowd. It is the cake for all ages and gender. My husband never liked strawberries but when he tasted this cake his whole believes changed! I always make this in 2 smaller pans and layer the cakes. Be generous on frosting, though. It’s a game-changer!

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE:

1 box white cake mix

1 box strawberry gelatin (small box)

1 cup oil

1/2 cup milk

4 eggs

1 cup mashed sweetened strawberries (not drained)

FOR THE FROSTING:

1 stick butter, softened

1 lb box of powdered sugar

1/2 cup mashed strawberries, drained

How to Make Mama Seward’s Strawberry Cake

Step 1: To make the cake, combine the white cake mix, strawberry gelatin, oil, milk, eggs, and mashed sweetened strawberries. Once combined, pour the cake batter into a 9 x 11-inch pan or you can opt to use 2 smaller pans if you’d like. Make sure to not fill the pan or else the batter will bake up super tall.

Step 2: Place the pan inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 3: To make the frosting, mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, and drained mashed strawberries. It is a must to drain the strawberries before adding them in. If the frosting is too thick, just add in the strawberries until you reached the right consistency.
